1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) has been established in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), suggesting that alterations in signal propagation from the left dlPFC to other brain regions may be linked to the pathophysiology of TRD. Alterations at the cellular level, including dysfunction of oligodendrocytes, may contribute to these network abnormalities. The objectives of the present study were to compare signal propagation from the left dlPFC to other neural networks in patients with TRD and healthy controls. We used TMS combined with electroencephalography to explore links between cell-specific gene expression and signal propagation in TRD using a virtual-histology approach.

methodsWe examined source-level estimated signal propagation from the left dlPFC to the 7 neural networks in 60 patients with TRD and 30 healthy controls. We also calculated correlations between the interregional profiles of altered signal propagation and gene expression for 9 neural cell types derived from the Allen Human Brain Atlas data set.

resultsSignal propagation from the left dlPFC to the salience network was reduced in the θ and α bands in patients with TRD ( LIMITATIONS: These results show only part of the pathophysiology of TRD, because stimulation was limited to the left dlPFC.

conclusionReduced signal propagation from the left dlPFC to the salience network may represent a pathophysiological endophenotype of TRD; this finding may be associated with reduced expression of oligodendrocytes.
